General Computer Tips & Questions

Check your password strength

Microsoft has a free "Password Checker" that tests the strength of your passwords. I think most of us know the general rules for a good non-hackable password... letters, numbers and characters, no short passwords, not your cat or kid's name, etc... but this little tool will help you out even more. Or you could just try playing with it for fun.
Now go forth and be safe! Big Grin

How To Set A YouTube Video To Start At A Certain Time or Point

Ever want to send someone a youtube video link where you only want them to see a specific part and not the whole thing?

Here's how:

Add the following hash to the end of the link: "#t=1m20s" where "m" = the minutes and "s" = the seconds.
For example heres a video that is 1 minute and 45 seconds long, I only want to show the part that begins at 1 minute and 19 seconds till the end.

Full video link looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7jEVkbyBd4

ALU - Arithmetic Logic Unit

On-Screen Keyboard

So inspired by Smartmom's thread on Keyboard Shortcuts. I thought I start a thread on want to do when your keyboard dies and you can't get a new one right away.

In case you decided to take out all your buttons to clean your keyboard and in the end find it not working (totally didn't do this) , this is what you can do:

Click Start>All Programs>Accessibility>On-Screen Keyboard
